Ooh XE Iaso’s blog. I watched a couple of her videos on YouTube. What a talented person

Just lol at blocking Cloudflare. They seriously think this will being down the number of pirates?

Isn’t this only for people running NGINX?

is there a thriving selfhost/homelab type place that is active?

I mean, you’re right here.

Is there any benefit to hosting your own Lemmy and mesh it with the other Lemmey’s out there?

If it’s your personal instance: altruism. You’re taking some burden off of the main Lemmy servers by hosting your own with your content. You’re saving them bandwidth, storage and CPU time.

If it’s a public instance meant for others to use: you’re participating in decentralisation and keeping the Fediverse alive. Every new instance has their own mods, rules and policies. It’s like a little island connected to other islands to form a community.

I can wrap my 70 year old head around it.

Holy shit I hope my brain can process new tech at that age like you. Good luck, DM me if you have trouble.

Alright thanks

I’ll likely go for a 4 or 6 gigabit port card, so PCIe gen 3 x1 is not a problem. Am I correct in understanding that the card will run at PCIe gen 3 X1 if I do this?

What can I do if the card is PCIe gen 2 x8? These cards from Silicom are really cheap on ebay

Technically the slot is PCIe Gen 4 x1, but I understand. TBH PCIe gen 3 X1 is fine too, that’s more than 6 port Gigabit cards can saturate anyway.

The card only needs PCIE Gen 3 X2 == PCIE Gen 4 X1 in terms of bandwidth. I was hoping to fit it into the slot since it meets the bandwidth requirements

You can seed public torrents with Proton? I thought they did something to curb that a few years back.

What is your opinion on Windscribe and PIA?

No idea. I personally use PVs and PVCs with k3s and it’s trivial there with some downtime

I’m interested in the VPN you use

Not calling you out specifically OP, but can someone tell me why this is a thing on the internet?

multiple 12GB drives

GB??? I assume TB automatically when people say this but it still is a speedbreaker when I’m thinking about the post.

Not bad. I’ll take that if it loads without javascript. I’d like my instance to have a web UI that I can use without JS
